# File API is now available

As of API version 2021-07, you can use the File API to create, update, and delete generic files and images. This functionality allows merchants to reuse files for different apps. These files are added to the [Files page](https://shopify.com/admin/settings/files) in Shopify admin.

Learn more about the File API on [Shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/graphql/reference/products-and-collections/file).
